And that is the fundamental question here isn’t it? Should the government have the ability to turn “protections” on and off at the drop of a hat ad infinitum based on things that ‘could happen’? That’s not what I think their job is, tbh.

It's times like this I like to remind people of the well known proverb - "Not all scum are tories, but all tories are scum"

Going to be an interview every Thursday with manager , giving pre game thoughts on BW tv

The Tories are starting to tear each other apart.

This. You don't test to see if you have any other Coronavirus so why test for this one of you don't have symptoms. More lives will be saved by getting back to normal and detecting cancer at stage 1 and not stage 4 for example. The only health emergency we have now is one of our own making.

You're not saying these things are a reason why normal society should be able to be ceased at the drop of a hat though surely?

12 games and 4 goals for Ruth in the league so 1 in every 3 games. Keena's 5 goals in 19 games so basically 1 in every 4 games then Dowds is 8 goals in 18 games thanks to his hatrick at the weekend. Ruth's only just turned 20 and is a lot better than what people on here give him credit for. Be interesting to see what Rennie thinks of him or even how he performs with a partner like Dowds upfront.

Hiya Gerry McCann, Hiya Pal.

Jesus Christ we don’t half have some dour b*****ds in our support. I know itzdrk has a weird personal vandetta but honestly ffs.

They lifted it straight out of the governments own evidence paper. They literally gave the media carte blanche to distribute that information to the masses via any outlet they wanted to. You can't blame the media when its the governments own published numbers. There is no defence here. None at all. The government got themselves in a big flap, tried to scare everyone and fired in some restrictions. they then played the "bad Tories" line because Boris didn't buckle under and start throwing money at them so they could fire in even more restrictions (as it was stated many times that they wanted to do). Boris took the right action (probably for the wrong reasons) and thank christ he did otherwise we'd be back to 2020 lockdowns again and months away from having any kind of exit.

Looks like an advert for a medium or a hypnotist

If Partick Thistle wanted to play in front of more than 500 fans, they should have simply not voted to play on through the restrictions.

Wordle 207 6/6 Never checked this thread first, and this is now going to be me for the rest of the day:

For me with Sturgeon it's the condescending, arrogant attitude she gives everytime shes questioned she genuinely gives of a "how dare you question me" attitude everytime someone asks her any question that isn't entirely to her approval. I'm not sure if it's a new thing or if it's just become way more evident during the pandemic, the eye rolling and the looks she gives some of the journalist is childish and pathetic.

They allow cats in?

Johnson will absolutely brass this out. At worst he will suffer a temporary dip in the polls. Tory voters are a deeply unpleasant collection of sycophant, cucks and bigots. Indeed most of these losers would happily welcome Bojo into their homes to pump their wives and probably hand him a towel and a nice cup of tea afterwards. It doesn't help of course that Labour are led by a man with less charisma than a kitchen worktop who is as likely to score a series of own goals that would make Frank Sinclair blush as he is to land any significant blows on Johnson. The Conservative government are openly taking the utter piss out of the electorate but a few well placed dog whistles at "wokeism" and brown people in dinghies will see them home again next time round. What a time to be alive.

Don't tell him Pike

LIGHT THE BEACONS OF GONDOH

I delivered a paper on my run one morning to Mr McLeod, with my Ayr Scarf on. He came out for his paper and spoke away to me for a good ten minutes about the Ayr team, who my favourite was and so on, before handing me a twenty pound note and had a big smile on his face in doing so. Went home and told my paps, I hadn't a clue who he was never even thought to put 2 and 2 together After I was informed, going to his door felt like going to Buckingham palace

A tsunami, for almost all generations alive atm evokes one thing only. Death and destruction on a horrific scale. What we got was a few more cases driven by the increased transmissibility of a variant that South Africa were telling everyone who would listen (we wouldn't) was significantly less dangerous and unlikely to cause any problems whatsoever. It was horrendous use of language, and was used in the context of having one eye on Johnson not funding further restrictions, hoping that it would all come back to bite him and she would score some points. The opposite has happened of course.

Glorious, a genuine no win situation for the sweaty nonce. Either: 1) public humiliation in a cross examination, or 2) an out of court settlement costing millions and finishing what's left of his tawdry reputation. Option 2 should also ensure plenty of hard questions about the future of the royal parasites given that the public will essentially be paying out millions to avoid the Queen being too embarrassed by her paedophile son.

Fair enough. I’ve booked 2 holidays already this year and might go for another one. Travelling is one of the things I’ve missed most.

People who read this thread before attempting are dirty cheats and I have your cards marked.

Nobody raised this appalling scandal at PMQs today. Shows how out of touch our politicians are with the concerns of the public IMO.

You misunderstand the purpose of the conservative party. When the state is used to support capital it needs to be big. Personal liberty is only important when it concerns the freedom to serve capital's interests. And tax isn't high. It is higher than it was but historically and compared to the OECD it is on the low side of normal. Good to hear that Tories aren't happy though. That's always music to the ears.

Some say "pointlessly stricter" others say "28% increase in deaths attributes to Covid in England than in Scotland per capita"

I was more than a little anxious after checking the weather forecast last night and learning that, with the windchill, it would feel like -27c this morning, since my daughter insists that she comes out with me when I take the dog out and I like to let my wife have a lie in in the mornings. The danger of frostbite is very real in those temperatures. Thankfully lots of layers and some Vaseline on her cheeks, combined with our dog decided to get straight to business, meant it went a lot smoother than I thought it would. Here is Isla saying "off" , as soon as we get back indoors so wants off all her outerwear as soon as possible.

Has always been so in my view. But before Covid it was the bogeymen in WM that she was scoffing at so her fanboys lapped it up. It’s not so much fun now though that the mammy sass is aimed squarely at her subjects.

FTFY. Goodnight, Sweat Prince.

To me a Tsunami of cases would have led to significant structural damage to the health and economy of the country in an equivalent manner to the 2004 Indonesian disaster. What we have seen over the past month has been a big wave landing on Ayr beach and nothing worthy of the drama and scare mongering from people who really should know better than to be constantly pedalling fear and alarm.

Hughes is a horrible p***k and a bully, I'm sure most Scottish football fans aside from Falkirk and Ross County fans and the Open Goal type crowd are hoping he fails miserably.

I take photos every day and post them on our social media pages so the owners can see their dogs are in safe hands and are having fun, in order to avoid posting similar photos i have to get creative from time to time and some days the photo speaks for itself. Dogs eh

Name a fan base who wouldn't wish ill fortune on their rivals if they were managed by a moron who relegated them. You’re deluded.

Who knew. Vote tory = you get scum representing you. Oh wait. Scotland hasn't voted this lot in for decades yet they continue to rule us. We deserve much much better than this.

Ruth is a young player who was asked to do a thankless job under Sheerin with no service or support. The fact he scored 4 goals under those conditions suggests he's got something. He's lightweight for sure but puts in way more effort than Keena did/does when alone up front and gets into better positions. Would like to see him with Dowds under the new formation. 4 strikers, Dowds, Keena, Ruth and a new signing would be fine.

Doesn't reveal his Daily Record sources.

I’ve always quite liked Chris Wood. Good old school centre forward. Think his lack of goals this season is partly down to injury and Burnley as a whole being pish. If all else fails they can always bring back Andy Carroll… Fucking hell

Throws the dried cutlery back in the drawer from what sounds like a height of 3000 feet.

How did that work out for you?

Good on you. Maybe that's why your marked down as the resident bawbag.

10 for Tuesday, 7 for Wednesday.

Every time I go to Starks’ Park I am amazed that cars are allowed up the street before a game. Pratt Street always used to be closed at Links Street before and after games, which was safe. Now, if you’re approaching the ground from the Beveridge Park end, getting across the road isn’t possible until you get to the bottom of the ramp, which is on a corner. There must be loads of near misses every week. It will unfortunately probably take someone being knocked down for it to change.

I like to tell Americans that I played college football. What I don't tell them is that it was association football for Stevenson College.
